The Great Sphinx of Giza...
The Great Sphinx of Giza is the oldest monumental sculpture on earth. Built in 2500 BC, it is also the largest monumental sculpture, as it is 241 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 66 feet high.
The purpose of the Great Sphinx is for solar worship. The body, which is that of a lion, is associated with the sun. The head, which is of a man, represents Pharaoh who will keep the citizens of Giza safe.
The Great Sphinx still stands as a tribute to architecture, a representation of idol worship, but after 4,500 years is still void of spiritual power.
